Gabriel Arazas 539a798009 Rewrite as a flake
I revisited NixOS this week and I've rewritten my NixOS config from
scratch. I must say I really like Nix flakes. For whatever reason it
just clicked and I understood more programming with Nix despite my
previous experience which is not good. Could be just the fact I had a
break for a long time from completely using Nix (I still used it on
non-NixOS distros).

Eh... I still took some things from the original inspiration of this
configuration so there's that.

= foo-dogsquared's NixOS config
:todo:
This is my NixOS config as a link:https://www.tweag.io/blog/2020-05-25-flakes/[Nix flake].
I finally have some time trying to grok flakes and redo my NixOS config from scratch after leaving NixOs (because I have work and have to quickly set things up without me trying to debug how NixOS works).
Here is the result.
== Installation
This primarily uses Nix flakes so you can have a preview of what's available in my config.
[source, shell]
----
nix flake show github:foo-dogsquared/nixos-config
----
It should only export my NixOS configurations of my different hosts (of only one so far excluding VMs and VPSs ;p).
== TODO
In order of priority:
* Create custom modules.
** Create a themes system similar to link:https://github.com/hlissner/dotfiles[this NixOS config].
* Manage secrets with agenix.
* Automate backups with NixOS config.
* Create custom packages and export it to flakes. (Maybe consider making it to upstream)
* Create cluser-wide configs.
* Create host-wide configs.
* Create user-specific configs with home-manager.
* ~Steal~ Get some ideas from link:https://github.com/divnix/devos[this overengineered template].
* Make use of other established utilities such as link:https://github.com/divnix/digga/[digga], link:https://github.com/gytis-ivaskevicius/flake-utils-plus[flake-utils-plus], and link:https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager[home-manager] once I'm familiar to create my own Nix programs.
Out of scope:
* Text editor configurations.
They are often updated. I don't want to rebuild it every time I change it.
* Migration of my link:https://github.com/foo-dogsquared/dotfiles[dotfiles].
I still use it on other non-NixOS systems.
